Ambient ditties in Tokyo

During the many rainy days here in Tokyo I have been fiddling around in my guesthouse and have created quite a few ambient noodles.

I'll probably end up posting them here at some point...... so keep mediafire oiled and ready. 

Lyrics for Lying Under Moribund Waves

Bay of Withered Gardens

It's a shame that we have to wait

for the shore to recede and the moon to take us to

the cocoon in the middle of the tide's break.

The chrysalis is crystal clear and we can see so very deep,

we peep at the towns of old weeds

that creak as they brace the currents from the bay. 

Pixelated Ocean Currents

Into the waves my face is laced with

seagull egg shells and dead crab pastels

I sink under the snowy, creamy sun

and drift beneath the salty avalanche's run

Pixelated ocean currents carry me gently away.

Chasing Ghost Trees

The trees in the woods of ash and light,

the needled earth, the sparrow's blight

The nest-less points of skyline fur,

sway and move, the birds disperse 

And chase the ghost trees over the hill,

the moving forest is never still,

their misty forms elude the birds,

and cold fog engulfs the leafy herds

Cloudblood

On the plain of grey hay,

the girl plays in the cloud's shade

As the day fades, her mother calls,

but the girl hides among the colorless stalks

And makes a home, a grassy dome

Lined with harvest mouse bone

Where she sits, quietly amidst,

the drone of distant ghost ships.

A Delicately Woven Hull

Spiders weave a home in the stale wood,

webs cover the hull of this cracked boat,

that should've rightly sunk long ago,

but is kept afloat on this dark lake,

by a delicately spun deck, lapped gently by ink ripples

Spider's spittle ensures this tired wreck will sail.

Among Tomato Trees

Underneath the tomato tree

is where you sat and waited for me

We lay together and watched the clouds,

rise at noon

over the sea.

Sunken Meadows 

Those who dwell beneath the field,

under stone and grass their bones are sealed

Until the monsoons soften the clay,

they swim through the soil 

to the woods where I lay.

I'm off to study visual arts in Tokyo for 5 months next monday. Looking forward to improving my drawing technique and my so-far-hopeless grasp of the Japanese language.

Adrift

I'm just a little bottle of apple juice floating in a vast sea, hoping I will drift to an island where you sit and be gently opened and delicately sipped.

Jess Mutascio made this beautiful video for one of the songs from my new album Lying Under Moribund Waves.

Jess animated some of my drawings and incorporated them into the video too.

Pink Afternoon Music Making

This pink, cloudy afternoon, after allowing a dozen rainbow witch fingers to dance across my gums and wedge their long, violet nails between my teeth, I sank into the white depths of an enormous pillow and had several imaginary wanderings.

Faded Suburbs review in Japanese

Faded Suburbs has received a very nice review on a Japanese website:

 http://lifewave.sitemix.jp/2009/12/15/bristles-on-the-carapace-『faded-suburbs』/ 

Luckily Jasper can speak Japanese and was able to make a translation. Here it is.

The surreally named group Bristles on the Carapace are Jasper Rice and Will.t, a duo from Australia. I'm not familiar with Jasper's other musical projects, but Will.t's project Paneye has releases on Dog Eared Records and Secret Station. Paneye's sound is not far from that of this release, and has a loosely ambient sound to it. 

The title of the album, Faded Suburbs is wretched and drifting, but the contents have a lo-fi ambient sound. The whole album's sound is not so much underwater, but rather cloudy, and I wonder if this is intentional or whether the cost of the equipment has any relation to it. Through this, it could be thought that some manner of ambience is achieved. It is a mysterious sound. 

It's melodies are not like melodies, and yet it isn't drone. Ephemeral melodies appear, delicate and foam-like, then seem to vanish at an unknown time. In this way it is similar to the title of the album, something which the titles of all the songs do not grasp. “Categorisation isn't particuarly necessary” it seems to say. However, while obviously being made quite cheaply, it does leave a lasting impression. 

Faded Suburbs perhaps has the meaning of being faded from memory. Let us assume that here, in this abstract pale sound, it is as if we are peeking into the midst of a memory. Perhaps the hairy yellow monster on the album cover is “Bristles on the carapace” and perhaps he is gazing at the “faded suburbs” around him. 

Incidentally, as it sounds similar to Paneye's “Along the way to the big top, my life just dissolved”. Those pleased with that release should check this out.

Aside from the final two tracks, this record is a result of a two day recording fest in November.

Jasper's Poem

Jasper Rice sent me this poem. It sums up late 2008 and early 2009 very nicely:

The second last summer of a decade/ lying in sunbleached cemetary grass/ high with the brothers Treffry/ Oh the summer of 2009/ I drift through lectures like a wafting breeze/ pedalling coastal roads to ease my wanderlust/ and drinking ten dollar wine /

it's summer-in Summer Hill/ And I'm beneath the railway lines/ high with the brothers Treffry.

This painting was originally titled 'Mrs Claus' Dildo' but I thought it was too sexist. Jess Mutascio still maintains that my first title was better. What do you think?
